Question

The enolic form of a acetone contains
(a) 9 sigma bonds, 1 pi bond and 2 lone pairs
(b) 8 sigma bonds, 2 pi bonds and 2 lone pairs
(c) 10 sigma bonds, 1 pi bond and 1 lone pair
(d) 9 sigma bonds, 2 pi bonds and 1 lone pair

Answer 1

Answer:

Acetone's enolic form contains

(a) 9 sigma bonds, 1 pi bond and also 2 lone pairs.

Explanation:

Sigma bonds are known to be the strongest covalent bonds which is formed by head-on overlapping between two atomic orbital.

π bonds or pi bonds are covalent bonds formed by overlapping between two lobes of an orbital on one atom and two lobes of an orbital on another atom.
